"H.M. Eddie” Yews are a great alternative to “Emerald Green”
Arborvitae for shady planting locations. They have the same, columnar growth
habit as the Emerald Green" Arborvitae, but they are much more shade tolerant.
Contact us and let us help you create Instant Privacy with these year-round
(evergreen) barriers.

Foliage: Evergreen

Mature Height: 18-20 ft.

Mature Width: 3-5’ - Usually
determined by the spacing between trees in the row—2.5-3' (see highlighted text
below)

Sunlight: Full shade,
partial shade, full sun.

Soil: Likes
well-drained soil, but must be kept well watered when first planted. Tolerant of
dry shade once established.

Growth Rate: Moderate.
6" to 1' a year once established, possibly more depending on growing conditions.

Notes: Dark green foliage - new growth is
bright green and contrasts highly with older foliage. H.M. Eddie is a male
selection and will not form berries which can be messy. Takes well to pruning.
Can be pruned into dead wood and it will re-sprout. Highly browsed by deer.

Tree Care Note: Yews can be
quite flat on top which makes them susceptible to branch damage when snow
weights them down. This can be minimized but not eliminated. It is
minimized by tying twine around the trees to support the upward growth. We
do this when we install the trees for Customers. Customers will need to
continue adding twine for the new growth every few years.

What to Expect the First Year: As with all
newly-planted trees, these need to be watered carefully through the first
Spring/Summer--see our "Care of Your Trees"
section for more details. There will be some small branches broken during
transportation & installation--nothing to worry about and you can either cut
those off or let them drop off. This is common but it can be of concern to
homeowners; these are tough plants. Not much growth the first year because the tree
is putting its efforts into its root system. Please also read the next
Comment.

Comment:
Yews, like the laurels, don't like to be transplanted and will take a while to
become acclimated to their new location. During this time they can drop
foliage, turn off-color, and just generally not look healthy. This is
natural but can be of concern to the homeowner. We will typically ask you
to "stay the course" during their first growing season/first winter; and as long
as they put out new growth their first spring in the new location they will be
fine and gradually recover to look right. This is "part of the deal" with
Yews.

We deliver and plant these trees.
Most of our planting projects are in Western Washington: Blaine, Bellingham, Everett, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Shoreline, Bothell, Seattle & the "East Side"--Bellevue, Woodinville, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, etc.--Renton, Kent, Federal Way, Tacoma, south to Olympia and
all points in between; plus Leavenworth & Wentachee. Further away, people
often come pick up the trees here at the nursery and arrange for local planting.
Please see the "Advantages" section below for more information about our
planting services and our company.

From our Snohomish, WA
location, we deliver and plant trees statewide. We sell retail & wholesale,
for residential and commercial projects. Sorry, we only do business in
the State of Washington.

We are a tree farm, not
a retail nursery. Most of the trees we sell have been grown right here
in Snohomish at our 60 acre tree farm. Buying directly from a grower
gives you fresh trees, great selection, and low prices--you maximize your
purchasing power! For more information including photos of our farm
and growing fields, click here.

We specialize in
Privacy Trees for
screening--no other nursery in Washington State has our combination of a
wide selection of privacy trees grown locally, many years' experience in
"what works where", professional planting services, ongoing support, and
thousands of satisfied customers.

We have privacy trees
that are not available elsewhere. Our
"Hedged Privacy Trees" are a
good example: For years we have been pruning some of our Privacy Trees
into tall, narrow hedges. "Instant Privacy" in a narrow form. No
one else in the Northwest has anything like this.

You can see our hedged
and natural privacy trees in our beautiful 8 minute YouTube
Farm Video.

We also have a nice selection of
Ornamental
Trees, with many of our trees being on the "Great
Plant Picks" list for the Pacific Northwest.

Free Estimates:
We’ll help you determine which trees are right for your project, and provide
you with free, no-obligation estimates. This is often accomplished by
e-mail and phone, usually first using our online
Free Estimate
Request Form. Where necessary, we will send one of our experts out to
review the project (no cost or obligation). More information

We’re conveniently located
just 15 minutes north of Woodinville. We’d be happy to have you out.
We don't keep regular retail hours; instead we set up appointments so that
we can focus on your project--we look at photos and plans with you, and
drive you around the farm and look at the tree options.

We don’t require any
money “up front”—you only pay when the job is completed (unusual exceptions
to this are large/special projects or lengthy “holds” on trees). Be careful of
contractors asking for “up front” money; they might not come back!

When we plant your trees we include
staking, transplanting fertilizer, and an
easy-to-use watering system that hooks into your garden hose. More
information.
We also give a one year Warranty on trees we plant, for no additional
charge.

of Your Trees” section of our website, and provide ongoing support--we're
available to answer your questions as your new trees grow. More information

Be sure to hire a
registered contractor -- to go to the Department of Labor &
Industries website to check a contractor's registration,

there: "Unregistered contractors carry no bond or insurance to
protect consumers. Consumers can face serious issues if anything goes
wrong on a job." These liability risks are in addition to
fraud, poor workmanship, worthless warranties, etc.

Most important of all is
what our customers think of us:

"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several
thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided
healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything
on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island

"Our privacy bank of trees has done nothing but grow well
into maturity. Our back yard and deck area is totally private and the 10
trees your team planted [in 2005] are rich, leathery and dark green. We
remark on them every day it seems. Please include me in any of your
"Testimonials" as you would be hard pressed to find a more satisfied
customer."
Jim, Port Orchard

"I work in customer service so I know good service when I
experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to
anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island

"By the way, the trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last
house! We now have a much larger space . . . "
Katherine, Fall City

“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors
working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys
were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as
soon as I saw them going in."
Holly, Queen Anne

"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I
have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention
to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way
through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the
trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary
irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries
will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them.
You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly,
polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without
hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley

"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is
unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard
is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma
